Coastal siblings Adam and Jazmin have certainly proven their connection in the sport this season with both earning selection in the Tasmanian state teams to play in Hobart this weekend.

The Penguin pair both play for the Devonport Strikers with Adam coming off a history-making season in the NPL side and Jazmin leading the way in front of goals.

Adam played in every game for the Strikers in their championship year, plying his trade at right back and on the wing.

The 21-year-old said to be selected in the state team was “something special” after missing the final cut only a couple of years ago.

“It’s a good achievement I guess and something I can be proud of,” Adam said.

“The first year of the Victory League I didn’t make the final team, so it was good to have something to strive for and this year I’ve been able to. “It will be great to play against Melbourne City’s youth team so we will get a bit of exposure and hopefully a few of us younger boys can have a good game and get something out of it.”

Adam said to be selected to play for the state in the same year his sister gained selection was something the family would savour this weekend.

“We’ve been playing for a while so it’s good to have both of us in the team.

“We’ve always had soccer through the family and just gone on from when Dad used to play.

“She seems to know where the back of the net is, she hasn’t stop scoring this year.”

Adam joins Niko Giantsopoulos from the Strikers selected in the men’s team with the remaining six shortlisted players form the Coast unavailable for this weekend’s game.

Jazmin won the Northern Championship golden boot in the women’s competition this season and has dominated in front of goal in the Super League as well.

She said she was really excited to play for the state and it would be a great way to finish off the season.

“I’m really excited, I spend a lot of time training and going to Hobart and it’s really good to get something out of it,” Jazmin said.

“Seeing that I’ve had a good season, scoring 47 goals in the Northern Championship League and scoring 14 in the Super League for [Launceston] City.

“Especially getting third in the Northern League best and fairest as well.

“I guess it’s just been a really good finish to the season.”

The 18-year-old said playing for the state with her brother was also something she would treasure as he had a big impact on her growing up with the sport.

“Definitely, it’s pretty much been a really big highlight for me to have my brother in the side as well.

“He’s been a real idol and role model for me so it’s pretty special for the family.

“Hopefully we get that win and can end the season on a high.”

The Tasmanian men’s side play Melbourne City and the women face Victoria in the Seasol Bass Strait Cup at KGV in Hobart this Saturday.
